Leicester City midfielder James Maddison can't draw any satisfaction from his form as the team struggles this season.

Maddison himself has been in inspired form so far this season with five goals and two assists in just eight league games.

However, despite his stellar start to the season, the midfielder was in no mood for self-praise.

He said: "I feel I'm at the top of the game but it's a strange one because I don't want to come across as a guy who is talking about personal form when we're in the position we're in because I love winning. It's bittersweet to talk about it.

"I try to lead by example and take that responsibility on my own shoulders and take the pressure off my teammates.

"But it's all good talking about it but I've got to show them and keep continuing the personal form I am in."

On his England World Cup chances, Maddison said: "England is a hard topic to talk about because I don't want to say the wrong thing.

"Of course you want to play for your country. I want that opportunity. I don't feel like I've had the opportunity to showcase my talent at that level and I think I could have an impact.

"The better I play for Leicester the more chance I've got."
